mISTER FAIR BY NATURE

Reducing our environmental footprint is important to us. At Fair by Nature, we do this by overcompensating for the CO₂ emissions from the road transport of all our organic products. For each 1000 kg of CO₂ emissions, Fair by Nature pays €50. This is well above the relatively low market price for CO₂ offsets.

To be fully transparent in this regard, we have written a detailed explanation to clarify our calculation methods, which you will find here.

Bees are indispensable to the cultivation of fruit and vegetables and since the majority of our organic products is grown in Spain, it was only logical to enter into partnership with FUNDACIÓN AMIGOS DE LAS ABEJAS, a Spanish bee project. These ‘friends of the bees’ create and maintain beehives in Cuenca and Guadalajara. Pollination by bees accounts for as much as 84% of European fruit and vegetables! Unfortunately, bee populations - and therefore our food production - are under considerable pressure due to the use of pesticides, climate change and other factors. We believe that by supporting bees, we protect and promote agriculture and hence our future!

Through to our partnership with CeroCO₂.org we help improve organic farming in the indigenous communities of Cerro Pecul in Guatemala. This certified project helps local communities to mitigate climate change by developing traditional agricultural practices that respect forest, soil and biodiversity. In addition, an important spearhead is to improve the living conditions of indigenous families. Cero CO₂ was crowned the best emissions reduction project at the Climate Reality Awards 2018.
